Lotus of Siam...what has not been said about this place? Food is incredible, affordable and unique.
Must haves:
Garlic prawns. Over half the tables have prawns whenever I'm there. Crispy, flavorful, delicious. Don't forget to eat the shell and tail. It might sound a little odd, but you'll thank me. One of my favorite dishes in the city.
Crispy duck on drunken noodle. It's always on my table when I'm eating at lotus. Great flavor in the duck and the noodles.
Nam prik ong. Ming Tsai called it the best dish he's had in Vegas. Considering the foodie nature of the city, those are big words. A non spicy chili dip with ground pork and served with vegetables. not sure why it's so good...it just IS.
ONE THING TO NOTE...they specialize in northern Thai cuisine. Order off that section of the menu, along with the chef specialties. Don't come here looking for mind blowing pad Thai, curry, or anything you're used to eating at a "normal" Thai place. This is the holy grail of Thai restaurants...order what they do best. If you have questions...the servers will be more than happy to assist you.
Happy eating!
